Manu Ginobili's final trip to the charity stripe Wednesday was a hot mess.
The San Antonio Spurs veteran stepped to the foul line with 2.5 seconds left against the Portland Trail Blazers, and had the opportunity to bring his team within a point.
However, Ginobili bricked the first attempt.
And so, the 39-year-old needed to miss the second free throw to give the Spurs a chance to crash the offensive glass and take the final shot.
Ginobili then chucked the ball at the backboard and watched as it bounced around ... and into the hoop.
The Spurs fell 110-106 and are now a full game back of the Warriors for the top seed.
